I have these brakes on a 2010 Bass.
They work well for DJ, but shredding down trails, or anything where you're moving at a good clip and these brakes are terrible.
Spongy, lack in stopping power, and kill you hand (from having to squeeze so hard!).

Avoid! Acera's are much better.

a serious lack of stopping power...regardless of rotor size or setup


avoid, you are better off getting Elixir Rs or similar price point brakes

or getting deore m615s with 180mm rotors. i use these on my dh hardtail and they are awesome for the mmoney
